The Connecticut Office of Rural Health definition of rural, adopted by the Advisory Board June 2004, uses the 2000 U.S. Census data and OMB designations. All towns in a designated Micropolitan Statistical Area with a population of less than 15,000 and those towns in Metropolitan Statistical Areas with a population of less than 7,000 are designated rural for the purposes of the CT Office of Rural Health. Below is a list of CT rural towns by county.
County Town
Litchfield All towns in Litchfield County are considered rural except New Milford, Torrington & Watertown

New London Bozrah, Franklin, Lebanon, Lisbon, Lyme, North Stonington, Preston, Salem, Sprague, Voluntown

Applicants not located in a designated Connecticut rural town and requesting grant funds from any of the CT Office of Rural Health grant programs must clearly shown that 75% of the proposed program's project service area is designated rural in Connecticut using this adopted 2004 definition.
